The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 149 The Heir (Happy New Year everyone!)

River Valley City.

With Thorin Oakenshield, who was seriously injured, Gao Yuan jumped from the icefall of Raven Ridge and landed directly in front of the city hall of River Valley City, where Rivendell's camp was stationed.

When Arwen led Rivendell's army out of the city and launched a counterattack against the orcs, the city became much quieter.

However, if you stopped and listened, you could still faintly hear the sound of fighting coming from the rushing river outside the city.

The residents of Changhu Town who had been hiding in the city hall took the initiative to come out of their hiding places to help the elves who had provided them with shelter during the war and heal the wounded soldiers.

For the dying Thorin Oakenshield, Gao Yuan found an elf doctor who stayed in the camp and took care of the wounded to treat him.

It's a pity that even this elf doctor with superb medical skills from Rivendell was helpless to deal with Thorin Oakenshield's injuries.

He could only take out some dried Aceras grass from his medical box.

Soak it in hot water, and immediately the whole camp is filled with a refreshing fragrance, which can make people feel refreshed.

After smelling the fragrance from Aseras, even Thorin Oakenshield, who had always had a painful expression on his face, gradually eased his frown.

Thorin Oakenshield felt as if he had returned to his childhood. At that time, he was only 24 years old. He lived carefree in the Lonely Mountain, and he could play in the valley city and the dwarves' residence every day. .

At that time, the Lonely Mountain was still full of vitality, with cloudless mornings, sunny weather, green land everywhere, and crystal dewdrops condensed on the oak trees.

The summer in the lonely mountain is the most beautiful. In the haze, he stood at the foot of the lonely mountain again. His father and grandfather stood in front of the gate of the lonely mountain and smiled at him. The beautiful childhood and that flash The memories of passing away made Sorin couldn't help showing a happy smile.

The elf doctor handed the soaked Axelas grass to Gao Yuan's hand, and after looking at him, he said: "The only thing we can do at this moment is to help him relieve some physical pain. Axelas can Temporarily make his condition better, but it cannot cure the injuries in his body."

"If our lord Elrond is here, perhaps he will be able to heal Thorin Oakenshield's injury. His medical skills are unparalleled on this continent." The elf doctor sighed.

Gao Yuan shook his head, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Lord Elon is far away in Rivendell, thousands of miles away, and we have no way of getting his help."

He fed Thorin Oakenshield the tea made from the Atheras grass in his hand, which made him recover from the happiness brought by the fragrance of the Atheras grass. After that, his overall condition was obviously much better.

His face, which had been pale due to excessive blood loss, gradually returned to color, and he could even struggle to sit up and talk to Gao Yuan.

He asked Gao Yuan to find some paper and pens for him, and he was about to start preparing to make a will for himself.

Aceras has a very magical healing effect, which is like adrenaline in modern society, able to bring the dying back from the brink of death without any side effects.

However, for Thorin Oakenshield's injury, it was not powerful enough. Aselas could not completely heal his damaged internal organs, at most it could help him survive for a while.

Thorin Oakenshield was halfway through writing his will, he stopped what he was doing, suddenly looked at Gao Yuan who was communicating with an elf at the door of the tent, and asked: "Mr. Gao Yuan, do you think I will give my nephew Kili , how about being the heir to my throne?"

At this time, Gao Yuan was instructing the elf soldiers staying in the camp to mobilize the residents of Changhu Town to look for Bilbo in River Valley City.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be taken aback by Sorin Oakenshield's sudden question.

He didn't understand why Thorin Oakenshield would ask his own opinion on the issue of choosing an heir.

"You shouldn't ask for my opinion on this, you should ask your partners for their opinions." Gao Yuan replied.

Thorin Oakenshield shook his head and said, "They may be my most loyal partners. Even after I made a series of wrong things in the Lonely Mountain, they still firmly follow and support me."

"However, they're not the best proposers."

"Believe me, Mr. Gao Yuan, you are definitely the most wise and farsighted person in this expedition. Even Gandalf, his wisdom is based on the fact that he has enough secrets."

"I and the rest of the expedition team have witnessed your wisdom and foresight along the way, so I will seek your opinion."

What Thorin Oakenshield said was very reasonable. It wasn't that he didn't trust the dwarves of the expedition team, but judging from their performance in the Lonely Mountain, it could only show that they were trustworthy and loyal partners.

Even if there are many sticklers like Balin and Dwalin among them, they are at best good ministers who dare to speak out.

Loyal and good ministers may be indispensable, but such people are everywhere.

What is really scarce is the existence of ministers like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

In Sorin Oakenshield's view, Gao Yuan was such a person, that's why he asked for Gao Yuan's opinion.

Now that Thorin Oakenshield has said so, Gao Yuan can't shirk anymore. After thinking for a while, he gave his own opinion.

"I don't think Kili is suitable as the heir to the King of the Mountain."

Gao Yuan's first words almost made Thorin Oakenshield's heart stop.

"He's too emotional, his personality is out of character and not stable enough, and he is easily carried away by emotions, and he is as stubborn and reckless as you." Gao Yuan listed Qili's shortcomings one by one.

Thorin Oakenshield smiled slightly when he heard the words, he was not angry at Gao Yuan's words, but very happy.

Because this is what he has seen in Qili before, but Gao Yuan has just pointed it out now.

"It's a pity that Feili died in Raven Ridge to save Qili from the ring spirits."

Gao Yuan feels sorry for Feili's death. Regarding the choice of the successor of the king of the mountain, he is more optimistic about the dwarf who is usually taciturn but more responsible - Feili.

"In comparison, Philip is more suitable to sit in your position."

"However, you have no choice now, Thorin Oakenshield! The blood of the royal family of Durin dwarves is almost cut off, Fili is dead, and you are about to return to the palace of the dwarves, Ironfoot Dyne His bloodline is too far away from your family, you only have one choice, Qili."

Thorin Oakenshield was a little confused about what Gao Yuan meant. He said before that Kili was not suitable as his heir, but now he said that he could only choose Kili.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, what do you mean?" Thorin Oakenshield asked.

"Qili is still too young. He needs a regent to accompany him to help him manage your kingdom under the mountain until the time is right." Gao Yuan said.

When Thorin Oakenshield heard Gao Yuan's words, he immediately understood. He thought that Gao Yuan wanted to be the regent, but he obviously misunderstood Gao Yuan's meaning.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, I can rest assured that you will be the regent."

Sorin was not worried at all about Gao Yuan's shady ambitions in wanting to be regent.On the contrary, in his opinion, Gao Yuan is the most suitable for this position.

"No, I think you have misunderstood me, Thorin!"

"I will not choose to stay, and I may be away for quite some time after this is all over. Rivendell, even Middle-earth. Even if I don't leave, I will not stay to serve as the king of the mountain Regent, I do not wish to be chained to this lonely mountain."

Gao Yuan rejected Thorin Oakenshield's idea quite simply.

Thorin Oakenshield was taken aback, and asked hastily: "Then who do you think is more suitable to be the regent?"

"Your two cousins, Ironfoot Dyne and Bahrain, are both suitable for this position."

"If you don't mind, Bard, the descendant of Girion, the former lord of River Valley City, is also good enough for this mission." Gao Yuan proposed several candidates to Thorin Oakenshield that he thought were suitable for the regent of the Kingdom of the Mountains. .

Thorin Oakenshield smiled wryly: "My cousin Dyne still has his own territory, I'm afraid he won't be willing to take on this important task; the human lord, I'm afraid he will sacrifice the interests of the dwarves for the interests of humans; Bahrain would be a good choice, but his ability is not enough to take on this important task."

Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, and then continued: "You are right, Bahrain's ability is indeed not enough for him to take on this heavy responsibility, but what if Dyne is added with him?"

"The dwarves in the east need to be united, and even the dwarves in the entire middle-earth continent need to be united instead of being divided into seven kingdoms." Gao Yuan said solemnly.

In the days to come, there will be greater dangers, not only referring to the Balrog in Moria, but also the threat from Modo.

The people of Middle-earth will need the power of the dwarves, and they will need power to protect themselves.

Thorin nodded. As the king of the mountain and the king of the dwarves in Turin, how could he not understand the current situation of the dwarves.

Therefore, the matter of who will inherit the king of the mountain is simply decided like this.Thorin Oakenshield solemnly wrote this decision in his will with the quill in his hand.

"I'm going to see if anyone outside has found Bilbo. You can rest here." Gao Yuan turned and walked out of the tent where Sorin was.

Gao Yuan came outside the tent, found the elf adjutant he had sent to look for Bilbo just now, and asked him if he had found Bilbo in River Valley City.

Regrettably, even the elven adjutant mobilized all the elven soldiers currently stationed in River Valley City, and even those old and weak women and children who stayed in River Valley City, turning the entire River Valley City upside down.

Bilbo was not found in River Valley City. According to Gao Yuan's guess, it is very likely that the other party is not in River Valley City at all.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Bilbo is wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings at this time, huddled in some unknown corner.

Since Bilbo could not be found in River Valley City, Gao Yuan turned into a golden dragon and went to the battlefield to look for it.

The golden dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky from the valley city. At this time, on the lonely mountain battlefield, the war between the coalition forces and the orcs was coming to an end.

The army of half-orcs, which originally amounted to [-], was completely disintegrated under the counterattack of the coalition forces.

The big eagles soaring in the sky, after driving away the evil dragons from the north, began to circle and swoop down from the sky, repeatedly charging and killing the area where the orcs gathered.

The half-orcs died or fled.

Those half-orcs who were forced to the rushing river and had no way to retreat were originally planning to fight the coalition forces with all their might.

The golden dragon that suddenly appeared behind them immediately made them frightened, and they lost all fighting spirit and started running around.

The dragon's breath from the golden dragon's mouth drowned countless half-orcs in an instant, and the screams echoed by the rushing river, and even many half-orcs were burned to death by the dragon flames before they could scream. ashes.

But their enemy's morale was boosted, they only heard a burst of cheers from the coalition forces, and then continued to pursue them.

Most of the half-orcs were killed by the coalition forces on the spot, and the half-orcs who stayed on the river bank were squeezed into the rushing water by their companions and drowned in the rushing river.

The half-orcs who escaped to the south or to the west forest by chance were also caught up by the Rivendell soldiers led by Arwen, and beheaded one by one without mercy.

After finishing those half-orcs, Gao Yuan didn't care about those half-orcs fleeing around. His target was not these half-orcs who had already been defeated. He was anxious to find Bilbo on the battlefield.

"Bilbo! Where are you, Bilbo Baggins?" The roar of the golden dragon echoed in the valley of the two branches.

When Bilbo woke up from the coma, he found himself lying in a pile of rubble, and the white horse named Asifaros was kneeling beside him, licking Bilbo's face gently.

Seeing that Bilbo woke up, the war horse that belonged to Arwen immediately stood up from the pile of rocks and snorted excitedly.

Luckily for our hobbit.

The pile of rocks where he was hiding happened to cover his entire body.

Therefore, those half-orcs who came out of the tunnel halfway up the mountain did not notice him, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces by those vicious half-orcs.

Why did Bilbo pass out in this pile of stones?
It is shameful to say that our Mr. Bilbo fell off the back of Asifaros, and he never rode such a tall horse as him.

On those ponies he had been riding since he had set out with the expedition, Gofar delivered Asifaros to Bilbo to drive back to Dale.

Along the way, he stumbled on the back of this white steed, and when he saw that he was about to reach River Valley City, he accidentally fell off Asifaros' back, hit the rocks in the pile of stones and passed out. .

Bilbo stood up and looked at the messy battlefield around him. At this time, the coalition forces were chasing and killing those scattered orcs, and there was no one around him.

The sky above was cloudless, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, but he felt a little cold, and Bilbo rubbed his arms, shaking all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar in Bag End. .

At this moment, a golden dragon roared past Bilbo's eyes. Bilbo was startled and hid himself in the pile of rocks again.

At this moment, the roar of the golden dragon came from the sky.

Bilbo poked his head out of the pile of rocks in doubt, and looked at the golden dragon hovering in the air in doubt.

The dragon seemed to be calling its own name!
